RELATING TO CONSERVATION MITIGATION BANKS.

Summary

The bill lets the Department of Land and Natural Resources and qualified public or private groups set up conservation banks that provide credits to offset damage to threatened, endangered, candidate or proposed species. It adds a U.S. Geological Survey official to the state’s Endangered Species Recovery Committee and makes that committee responsible for reviewing and overseeing the banks. The goal is to make mitigation more certain, faster and cheaper for developers who need to protect wildlife.
